As required by statute, each fiscal year the National Cancer Institute prepares for the President and Congress its best professional judgment on the optimum funding needed to make the most rapid progress against cancer.

The U.S. Government fiscal year (FY) runs from October 1 through September 30.

The cancer research community—under NCI’s leadership—is on the verge of pivotal advances in oncology. Additional funding is needed to pursue promising research opportunities that will improve our understanding of cancer and bring the benefits of cancer research to the public.

Archived versions of the NCI Professional Judgement Budget provide additional information related to the content found in the FY 2017 proposal.
